Thanks for your (and Tim's) quick response.

I know I don't.  On my Debian sid amd64 machine, I just now
built xcircuit-3.6.25 with

./configure --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.4 --prefix=$HOME
make install

The look is different, but the feel is the same, and
the crashes are gone.  Cool.

I touched up one very minor warning, patch appended.
That leaves a bunch of copies of

Makefile:933: warning: overriding commands for target `dist'
Makefile:621: warning: ignoring old commands for target `dist'
Makefile:953: warning: overriding commands for target `all-recursive'
Makefile:425: warning: ignoring old commands for target `all-recursive'
Makefile:956: warning: overriding commands for target `install-recursive'
Makefile:425: warning: ignoring old commands for target `install-recursive'

messages.  What's that all about?
